Yes they're obligated to offer a 'reasonable' warranty but this isn't what you get if you register. You get a significantly increased warranty as stated by other commenters getting a card upgrade years after their card failed.

EVGA are particularly generous in this regard compared to others.

If the company is willing to warrant the card for X years if you register it, then surely X years is the minimum bounds of a reasonable lifetime?

I wonder if anyone in a "reasonable lifetime" guaranteed by law jurisdiction has used that line of thinking.

What makes you say that?

Depending on who you ask, a reasonable lifetime for a phone is 2 to 6 years. But if I want to make my customers feel nice and secure I might offer a 10 year warranty, knowing that very few people will actually keep it that long.

Should companies be prohibited from offering unreasonable extended warranties?
